New European Bauhaus Facility Proposal Support
Shaping sustainable, inclusive and beautiful living environments across Europe.
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is an EU initiative that connects sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusion to transform the way we live, work, and build.
It supports the development of neighbourhoods and communities that are not only environmentally sustainable, but also attractive, accessible, and designed for people.
NEB Facility Destinations
Connecting the green transformation, social inclusion and local democracy
The human, social and governance dimension of the programme, with opportunities around participation, co-governance, cultural identity, homelessness, intergenerational fairness, health, well-being and a stronger sense of belonging.
Circular and regenerative approaches for the built environment
The physical and environmental dimension, with strong demand for circular renovation, low-impact materials, climate-resilient design, sustainable maintenance, healthier construction practices and beautiful, affordable neighbourhood solutions.
Innovative funding and new business models for the transformation of neighbourhoods
The market and investment dimension, opening space for place-based finance, capital-market intelligence, community ownership, modular business models, adaptive reuse and future-oriented neighbourhood strategies.
